Fascinating. Having had 4 years at RTS Charlotte, training in the grammatical-historical method of hermanuetics, I have to say its very sad how many preachers in the evangelical world, have no clue about it, and give sloppy topical, or, allegorical sermons...as a routine. Many lay people don’t know the difference either, and find REAL preaching boring—and just can’t handle the right interpretation of the word.

Way too many ear ticklers out there....and ears looking to be scratched.

Thanks for the interesting article. I am enjoying this series. I was wondering though, the article said:

In 1515 AD, Martin Luther rejected the elaborate four-fold hermeneutic that had been predominant throughout the Medieval centuries, and which led to some very far-fetched allegorizing of the bible, leaving scriptural interpretation in the hands of the experts, who alone were capable of figuring out the secret things that bible passages really meant

Does anyone know what the four-fold hermeneutic was? Just curious.
